Open studio

Warm, bright, space where I create

Welcome friends, neighbors!

The sound of silence

A feather floats to the ground

No one notices.

Dried hydrangeas

Their season of glory done

Form, “Damn near perfect.”

Art Prescription: I found out today that one of my favorite patients passed away. I just want to honor him here. He was a delightful person, and every time anyone asked him how he was his response was, “damn near perfect.” I sure hope he has a “damn near perfect” journey to the other side.

Under bright moonlight

I take a breath of pure joy

For all that is…life.

Art Prescription: While a friend came to help me take an objective look at my open studio set-up, she noticed my cut butterflies for Art Prescription Kits. She has a family member who is unwell, and she wants to send a butterfly every few days as a word of encouragement, sign of support. I’m so pleased to provide some pretty butterflies for this act from the heart.
